Disclaimer: the 4 stars is purely for the location. Here's a verbal visual (is that even a word) of what this place looks like. You walk through the doors and directly ahead of you is the heart of this place, a front desk manned by someone who could possibly have been the dunce in her hospitality class - no joke, she was a real piece of work (but more about her later). To your right is the kitchen, the bathrooms and what looked like offices of some sort (this is a sailing club after all). To your left is where all the money is - turn here and head for the deck. As you pass the bar to your left, be sure to stop and chat to the exceptional barmen and have them mix up a cocktail for you. Sneak in a mandatory scan of the folk eating on your right as you step out onto the deck, and what a deck it is !!! Take it in kids, take in that view and just be.
There are only 6 or 7 tables out there so there may be a little argy bargy to grab a table but once seated, be prepared to grow some roots. Look through their bar menu and head back in to order at the front desk (remember? the front desk manned by the soup nazi herself?). Make sure you are 100% sure of what you want to order otherwise you WILL be made to feel like you have all of 10secs to order before the buzzer goes off and you lose the game !!! After copping a mouthful from her (how dare i ask her what came with some of the dishes), I settled on the chicken salad - the chicken was grilled to perfection and the salad was super crisp and sooo refreshing - spot on for a warm summer afternoon.
if you're umming and ahhing about this place - don't - just go, its as simple as that. read more
